Facebook

It appears that quite a large percentage of people need their daily dose
of Facebook like they need their daily cup of coffee.
And, in all honesty, for the life of me, I don’t understand the fascination.
Throughout my years on Facebook I have seen people spill the most intimate
details of their lives to so called friends that they have never met.
Bad Mistake, cause it usually comes back to bite you.
People who were once on your friend’s list whom you have now Blocked for
one reason or another.
Backstabbing and way too much drama.
You can be stalked on Facebook without even knowing it too!
I will admit that I do use Facebook, but not on a daily basis.
I share my Unilocal Reviews on Facebook because I am proud of those, I post
lots of Grumpy Cat stuff, and lots of Animal Activist type stuff too!
And, okay, I play Who wants to be a Millionaire because Lord knows
becoming a Millionaire is definitely on my Bucket List!
And, yes, there are more than a few Braggarts and Self Promoters who use
Facebook as their stepping stone.
And. just how many selfies does one truly need to post to Facebook anyway?
People who feel the need to be popular by adding another name to their
friends list.
For myself, the negatives definitely outweigh the positives here.
So, if anyone cares to take a look at my Facebook Page feel free to do so.
For you will find my Unilocal Reviews, many pics of my favorite Grumpy Cat,
and lots of animal stuff.
And, an occasional win on Who wants to be a Millionaire.
So, to Facebook, I am rating you 3 stars, and in all honesty, that’s the
best I can do…

Facebook — love it! I’ve reconnected with old friends and co-​workers and keep in touch w/​my ‘main’ friends, new friends and others on here. I have also created events for things as simple as breakfast w/​the click of the mouse.
I LOVE seeing pix of my family and friends, esp their children growing and stepping along their milestones of life.
It’s hard for me to talk on the phone (egads!) w/​my busy lifestyle and ever-​noisy household and noisy children. Texting and FB are clutch!
At times FB annoys me when people brag but maybe it makes them feel better about themselves? I keep it too real probably, which I’ve been complimented on. This Capricorn calls a spade a spade!
I think another great thing about FB is that you actually KNOW the people on FB, versus Unilocal (for the most part), sorry guys. But, each site is for your specific use or need of course. I would go to FB before Unilocal for true advice and friendship. Unilocal for food advice and recommendations of course!
What annoys me about both sites is that people tend to ‘collect’ other people in many cases to feel popular or some other BS. It’s totally psychological. I was done with that in HS. All of the people in my life are in it in the non cyber REAL world or on FB.
The best thing about Unilocal is where I met my love, Vince S. :)

I get that FB is a big part of many folk’s lives. I don’t have an issue with those who find joy in posting pictures, videos, quotes or various personal information on it. But I will never be a user myself, nor will I be a fan.
Being old school, I still think that phone calls are better than texts or IM’s. Better still is to interact with other humans in the three dimensional world. I think the ease of use on FB allows for less face to face experiences. If there are large distances between people, this social network might be a good tool to use. However it should not replace other forms of communication, just supplement them.
There are those who argue that Unilocal is also a social network, and not much different than FB. Of course it is, but it has some crucial differences. 1) People from my past can’t easily look me up. 2) It is easy to control how much personal info is shared, some share more, some less. 3) Unilocalers provide a cool service to others who are not members by taking the time to describe their experiences at businesses.
Maybe Unilocal is a stepping stone to more intense forms of social media? Maybe I’ll get a craving to set up a FB account to be able to post a multitude of cat photos, along with photos of myself that are decades old. Maybe I’ll try to look up exes and friends from my past who have slipped away? No thanks, I’ll stick to meeting new friends on Unilocal and in person. With food being a unifying factor, or basis for further communication.

Damn that SOB Mark Zuckerberg is sitting on billions of dollars at the young age of 31. He need to break the Facebook users off of some of his money. If it wasn’t for us, then Facebook wouldn’t be where it is at today. Let me hold something.
Anyway, I’m not very active on Facebook anymore. I’m not an open person anyway as I have kind of always flown under the radar in terms of my onscreen presence. I’ve been on the site since 2008 and the social network novelty has been wore off. Back then it wasn’t too bad. Now, the whole hood invaded Facebook and it is constant drama, men-​bashing, selfies, and foolery going on over there. If it wasn’t for my military connects around the world, I would have been deleted it.
I look at it as entertainment. Just sit back, relax, grab some popcorn, and watch the drama ensue.

its facebook. you were once great which is what? circa 2005 – 2008 and then, once you opened up, you went down the drain. today, you’re just spam and shit marketing.
you were once made for college students and then to keep in touch with your high school friends. it was great but as you get older, facebook has no point really. i mean, keep in touch with the same group of friends? lost sight of old friends? to me, i don’t care enough. a phone is for that.
anyway, you were that cool kid that grew up to be *eyebrow raising*

Familie ist wichtig, aber wenn sie auf der ganzen Welt verteilt ist, wird es schwierig mit der Kommunikation. FB ist für mich ein gutes Kommunikationsmittel.
Zumal ich dort viele verloren geglaubte Verwandte, Bekannte und Freunde wiederfand.
Ein ganz besonderer Mensch fand mich nach vielen vielen Jahren auf FB wieder.
Schade nur, dass sein Geschreibsel zunächst im sonstigen Ordner landete :(
Aber das ist eine andere Geschichte.
Nun nutze ich FB zusammen mit meinem Mann, um mit den Verwandten/​Bekannten und Freunden in aller Welt kommunizieren zu können.
Tipp an FB:
1. Bitte schleust den sonstigen Ordner so in euer System ein, dass er auch bei der App-​Ansicht (auf dem Handy) funktioniert!
2. Erstellt die Funktion als Partner/​Familie gemeinsam ein Profil nutzen zu dürfen.
3. Werbung abschalten!!!

Good mostly as a central repository for other apps to get friends lists & to update family, it’s list its lustre & is declining to be the for profit personal info reseller. Smart but unlikeable.

I first joined FB in 2008 when it was relatively new and not widely known. FB is the mother of all social media websites that has become a everyday household name, a vital need to post everyday thoughts, vents, comments, activities, create events, business or artist pages, track friends’ birthdays, and important life events on Timeline. I sadly miss the old FB wall as I despise the current Timeline as it was very simple with the essential tools. Myspace was one of the pioneer social media website but eventually faded out of the cyberspace limelight which paves the way for FB to be a leading social media.
Fast forward 2016
«Like», «Unlike», «Friend», «Block this person», «report this person», «share this», «post to timeline», «check-​in», «tag someone»
FB has become a gargantuan online soap opera full of gossip, competitive social activities, a free open public cyberspace for hookups, show-​off bragging contest of one’s success and individual achievements/​activities, and psychiatric sessions of love and loss, discussion boards filled with vulgar comments igniting cyberspace cat fights, timelines filled with woes and ills of job frustrations from clients, superiors/​managers/​administrators, family issues or family hostility, financial troubles, and political rant or complaints of Election 2016, global disorders of unemployment, economic crisis, Syrian fleeing refugees, ecological system, climate change, etc. etc. laundry list. FB appears to be a free public psychology session of personal rants and defamation of character on one’s timeline. I use my account less and less unlike when I initially began in 2008. I log-​in occasionally to post birthday wishes and occasionally see vile and vulgar posts on timelines of every waking unscripted moment of one’s life including: «going to the bathroom now to do a #2.» Facebook is a gargantuan cyberspace social DUMPSTER! I am not impressed to see extremely personal and extreme private posts. What is relevant vs. irrelevant to post on one’s Timeline? How personal is personal? Information leak becomes a privacy and security high risk as employers may take upon the background check of social media for users’ posts extending outside the traditional criminal background check, identity and immigration check. People who you have never met face-​to-​face to connect, which presents another high risk.
On the positive side, I am able to maintain connections with my high school and college classmates and my estranged extended family members, plus network and connect with like-​minded interests across the country.

Découvert Facebook au printemps 2008 via ma soeur qui s’en servait depuis son séjour à Dublin comme jeune fille au pair afin de rester en contact. A l’époque j’avais trouvé intéressant de retrouver mes amis d’enfance sans passer par copains d’avant, rassembler mes contacts MSN et ICQ, abandonner MySpace, les blogs photo et j’en passé. Donc, aucun problème afin de renseigner vrai nom et coordonnées, cela n’était pas de la naïveté car le choix de la plupart de mes contacts: après tout, Facebook n’était pas vu comme le grand méchant loup et pourquoi se méfier de ses propres «amis»? Lors de ma première année d’utilisation, la messagerie instantanée n’existait pas dans mes souvenirs, nous jouions à des jeux et quizz, et ma question favorite lors de rencontre interessante dans le réel devint: «T’es sur Facebook ?» (comme s’il s’agissait d’un club de privilégiés). Les années qui ont suivi et jusqu’à ce jour, bien compris les limites et intérêts de l’outil si bien que depuis je suis davantage stratège parce que compter sur l’entreprise pour protéger identité, confidentialité, intégrité etc est peine perdue. En conclusion: Autant avoir un pseudonyme, filtrer ses publications, avoir à l’esprit qu’il existe contacts toxiques, liens faibles et liens forts (tous nommés «amis» dans l’outil), que tenir fanpages et groupes peut être super en complément d’autres médias sociaux (Linked in, Twitter.) mais que rien né vaut la vie réelle. excepté si amis vivant loin.

Ich wollte nie zu Facebook… neeeee… never ever… schon wenn ich die Werbung dafür sah, hatte ich né richtige Abneigung. Warum auch immer.
Mir reichten die zwei Internetseiten auf denen ich mich rumtrieb völlig. Dort hatte ich Spaß, man informierte sich, man tröstete sich, man gab kluge Ratschläge und man bepieselte sich vor Lachen.
Aber dann… die lieben Verwandten,… es ist ja auch sooo schwer mal den Hörer zu nehmen und einfach anzurufen… mein Cousin überredete mich irgendwie… er meinte so würde man viel engeren Kontakt pflegen und somit meldete ich mich mal so leicht, vorsichtig an
(wie schonmal erwähnt. bin ein typischer Stier… so von der Sorte «hööh-​wasn-​datt-​kenn-​ich-​nicht-​ist-​bestimmt-​doof-​weil-​neu»… wären alle wie ich, würden wir immer noch in Höhlen wohnen und kein fließend Wasser haben ;-)
Und da sich mehrere meiner Cyber-​Freundinnen von unserer Haupt-​Internetseite verabschiedeten, weil zickige Stutenbeißerinnen nur noch auf Troll machten und uns das verleideten flüchteten wir zu Facebook. Denn dort kann man ja selber löschen, blockieren und was sonst noch alles gegen Psychos nötig ist ;-))
Nun kann ich mir es ohne Facebook gar nicht mehr vorstellen. Auch wenn es manchmal nerven kann, wie aber das Internet generell, weil ja auch in Anstalten durchaus Internet-​Anschluss erlaubt ist und jeder Strunzdumme jeden bullshit teilt ohne bissel nachzudenken ;-D
Ob ich süchtig bin… Quatsch mit Soße. ich doch nicht *zuck-​zuck*
:-)))

Wow, this is pretty funny and creative that someone thought to start reviewing Facebook! I have to say I spend ridiculous amounts of time on Facebook, and none of them are wasted. I do animal rescue and I find myself having quite a bit of free time now and again, even at work, where I get to go on Facebook look at funny pictures, read interesting stories, and network homeless pets. Facebook is not 100% perfect, but not much is. Sort of can’t live my life without it these days.

Unilocal challenge 2015. ³⁰⁸⁄₃₆₅
Face it, Facebook is entertaining. It is where a lot of people post their dirty laundry, rants, raves, stories, ect. Who needs Netflix when there is a movie playing everynight on Facebook. It’s got drama, comedy, sorrow, sex, lust, ect. It also has a ton of shopping on it.
But what I wanna know is How the heck does it know what I wanna buy. Ads pop up all the time for stuff like Ipsy, Coffee, Sephora, Ulta, clothing, ect.
Whats even scarier, I will be eating dinner and like magic it tells me who is close by. The good thing is, if I ever go missing, certain peoples settings are set to show exactly where I am.
Anyways my dog uses facebook more than me. Yea she has her own page.

As long as Facebook continues to be popular and my family members in different states are posting photos, then I’ll continue to use it.
I initially began using Facebook in 2008 to keep track of what my two teenage daughters were up to. For a year or so, they kept talking about this Facebook thing and I finally had to go see what they were talking about. Facebook wasn’t nearly what it is today in 2015, but they were both posting photos, and as a mom of teen girls, it was my responsibility to keep an eye on them. (Thank goodness that Snapchat thing wasn’t around when my girls were growing up!)
I used Facebook much more several years ago. I pretty much uploaded every photo I ever took and was constantly updating my status. I even got completely addicted to Farmville… so much so that my husband said I had a series problem. I finally admitted I had a problem and deleted Farmville and all the other games. That was about fives years ago and I haven’t played any of the games on Facebook since.
I very, very rarely open Facebook anymore on my laptop. The only reason I will is if someone sends me a private message. I refuse to download the Facebook Messenger app and I can’t see the messages on the regular Facebook app. I think that’s pretty stupid to have two separate apps. I have a phone and can receive text messages… if a person is important enough to me, then you have my phone number and can call or text. Sometimes I get private messages and they’ll sit there for weeks or months. Oh well.
I do admit I open up FB at least once a day on my iPhone to check my notifications. Sometimes when I’m bored I’ll scroll though the newsfeed a bit. I upload pics and statues here and there, but not nearly like I use to.
Basically, the majority of my online attention goes to Unilocal!Haha (Seriously, it does)

I have a love hate relationship with Facebook.
The pros: what I like about Facebook is that you can connect with a lot of your Family/​friends from all over the world. You could post pictures install facebook Messenger and just have fun. I won’t lie, I still have a facebook but I’m not on it, I disabled it from my phone.
So once in a blue moon, I’ll go on there from time to time and say hello.
Facebook was pretty fun after the downfall of MySpace. Its pretty much like everybody abandoned ship and all joined Facebook.
The Cons: What stopped me from being on Facebook. Is all the drama that I’ve noticed for the past year or so. I had to clean out my friends list because… I just got tired of seeing so much negativity and nothing but people complaining about stupid shit.
That was the beginning, then I would get a bunch of harassing messages from idiot Facebookers. Trippin off shit that happened like 20 years ago. «I’m like really G?» «You’re tripping because of that?». For some reason there’s a lot of people who can’t let shit go. They can’t let bygones be bygones.
It’s funny because out of all the drama that happens on Facebook it’s basically comes from all the adults. Yea yea yea, the high schoolers and middle schoolers talk smack but that’s expected from them.
What’s really stupid is all that baby mama/​daddy drama. Or that shit like «He/​She cheated on me» then next week you see a post «We’re back together» I really can’t stand that people air their dirty laundry out on Facebook so the whole world can see.
Yeah, so in my opinion Facebook has become a circus just like Jerry Springer. So many people wanting attention looking for their 15 minutes of Fame.
Well that’s my take on Facebook. Sincerely VD Keeping shit real ²⁴⁄₇.
The Unilocal Elite degenerate that’s for the people.

VD thanks for posting your review and it is somewhat fitting. I don’t know why I get this a lot, but if I hear someone ask if I have a Facebook for the umpteenth time, I think I will scream (but not really).
Facebook to me should be called Getalifebook. Really. «Oh you don’t have a Facebook, you should get one.» Why? Still waiting…
I honestly don’t know much about it despite whatever the hell people think. I had a friend ask me recently about someone’s FB status that sounded depressing. Sure I know the person they are referring to but was confused for two reasons: 1) Why do they think I care? 2) If you have a question about their status, go ask them. Why not go straight to the source? Holy fucking logic batman. Attention seekers want just that. If you are that concerned, give them the attention they seek by asking.
I don’t have a problem with people having an account. It does make it easy to stay connected to family, friends, etc. I get that. However, maybe I just have enough going on in life to worry about people I knew 20 years ago or family that I haven’t seen since I was sperm. Does their status or pictures alter my day in any way, nope. So why would I care if they are «spending the day at the beach with my beotch.» I don’t. Pretty sure they don’t care if I am at work or «hanging with my ho.» And if they do, they need to find something to do with their time. I equate this with following celebrities on Twitter. Real talk: the people who matter in life will be in your life, FB not required.
The relationship status thing is even funnier. I haven’t seen FB in however many years but if I remember correctly, you could link it somehow to show you are in a relationship with another user or something. I am glad you need social media to validate your relationship. Oh but the ones that kill me are the joint accounts between partners. Sounds like someone fucked up and there are now trust issues. Here is an idea for these people. Drop the motherfucker that fucked up. What a concept.
I think, like anything, people get a bug and get hooked to something. Great for them if this is Facebook or whatever. You won’t see me however getting an account or liking your status on Facebook. So when someone asks if I have a Facebook, I will continue to begrudgingly deny them the pleasure of me having one. I will never understand why people want me to get one or believe I actually have one. Next time, I will just go with it and say I have an account. And then I will break their heart by informing said people that they aren’t important enough to view my status or anything associated with my account that I don’t have. Maybe people will then get the point.
I am completely happy that I don’t waste my life away on Facebook. For the people who do, here is one example of how easy it really is to walk away/​never be associated with it all. And the people in life that matter will send their kindest regards and thank you for not wasting your time with drama and stupid shit.

Yep, your stock is currently in the tank. Yet I still log on regular and converse with friends from all corners of the world. And because of Facebook my next vacation to Switzerland is coming together quite nicely.
Hate, love, loathe, need, Facebook has successfully tattooed itself into my daily life.

I finally joined Facebook because it was being used at a marketing tool at a former job where I worked — but I left it after less than two years because — despite connecting with former high school classmates which was fun but not something I want to keep up — I just found that everyone acts like they are still in high school when it comes to Facebook.
Calls with my sister and nieces would be something like «Well I posted it to my Facebook stream, don’t you read that?» …instead of actual conversations. When I used groups to divide my updates and postings so that people would not be overwhelmed — then my sister (for example) would get snitty and put out if I would mention something that she had not seen.
It’s just too much to maintain — being responsible for the one-​way streams of information from people you like can really change the dynamics of relationships. I prefer to keep my one-​way streams of information in content creation (like Unilocal,my blog, movie reviews) and retain two-​way streams of communication (e-​mail, phone calls, in person conversations) for family and friends.
On top of all that — there are all sorts of privacy concerns — and let’s face it: in all these «social networking apps» — we’re really just clicks/​engagement/​eyeballs to support revenue models for these businesses. If they all went away — we would not miss them.

Bitch Slap, Bitch Slap, Bitch Slap… Take that you evil whore facebook for enticing so much of my precious time and intellect!!!
Quick, no one’s looking… get in the back seat and I’ll roll you again…
Thanks for keeping me in touch with my friends, family, associates and for mildly amusing my life with your groups, pages, quizzes/​games, status, events, and photos.
Just cool it already with your Ad’s, revised page formats/​changes, and update glitches!
Do we understand each other? Be good to me and I’ll be good to you Baby…
